Hi people,

Recently i red this post https://community.dynamics.com/365/financeandoperations/b/alex-meyer-s-microsoft-dynamics-365-for-finance-and-operations-blog/posts/how-to-grant-access-to-navigation-modules-in-d365fo from the great ALEX MEYER.

In this post Alex Meyer explained different step of items selections to reach some module screens, he showed us that for accessing some Navigation Module we need some combination of specific items.

Actually, i'm studying security in D365 and i didnt understand why some items selection could grant ACCESS to Navigation Module and other not.

I wanna be able to access any Navigation Module and the screen that i want but how it works ? What is the logical process behind ?

Could someone help on this question.

Regards.

Hi Awaxx,

I wanna be able to access any Navigation Module and the screen that i want but how it works ? What is the logical process behind ?

Alex had answered this question in the 5th image of his post that you attached here.

Modules on D365FO are accessed via menu items(Display, Output, Action).

The modules themselves are represented by menus. These menu items can be directly on a form, a menu.

In simple terms Menu items on a Menu gives direct access to Navigation module.

Here is an example.

When you create a security role and assign the display menu item VendTableListPage, automatically you have access to the Account Payables modules.

I hope this helps.

Hi Komi Siabi

Thanks for your reply.

I red this part too.

But in fact if you tried to create a security role in UAT (like Alex did) and assign the display menu item VendTableListPage. Then you affect this role to a user you will see that you have not access to the module Account Payable.

And this is what i wanna understand.

Hi Mack,

In my opinion, this is an inconsistent behavior of the application. I have plans to dive into the details on short notice.

Hello Make,

Aside your custom role, did you assign the employee role to the user ?

I did add it and I can view the account Payable module.

Please try and revert.

Just like Andre said, this needs to be investigated though.

Hi Mack,

I created a role called TestRole <Privilege < Display menu < VendTableListPage

I assigned the role TestRole and Employee to the user and I can view the Account Payable module.

After adding the VendTableListPage display menu item, add all controls and datasources references.
